Trucheck
At our practice, we’re dedicated to helping you take control of your health, which is why we offer Trucheck, a simple and innovative blood test designed to detect cancer early—before you even show symptoms. Early detection is a game changer when it comes to cancer treatment, and Trucheck makes it possible.
Why is Trucheck so special?
What sets Trucheck apart is its ability to detect Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) in the blood. These cells are released by malignant tumours and are one of the first signs that cancer may be present. CTCs play a key role in the spread of cancer within the body, which is why detecting them early is so crucial. Trucheck’s advanced technology looks for these cells, helping to identify a range of solid organ cancers before they progress or spread.
Why consider Trucheck?
If you’re proactive about your health, have a family history of cancer, or simply want peace of mind, Trucheck is a great choice.
This non-invasive blood test is quick, simple, and gives you valuable information to help safeguard your future.
Trucheck FAQs
We understand that you may have questions about Trucheck and how this advanced cancer screening works.
To help, we’ve put together some of the most commonly asked questions about the test, how it detects cancer, and what your results might mean.
A positive Trucheck result doesn’t necessarily mean you have cancer, but it does indicate the presence of Circulating Tumour Cells. If your test is positive, our team will guide you through the next steps, which typically involve further diagnostic testing to understand what’s going on. Catching CTCs early allows us to take swift action and develop a plan tailored to you.
A negative result is reassuring, but it doesn’t mean you're 100% free of cancer. Trucheck is highly effective at detecting many types of cancer, especially solid organ cancers, but no test can guarantee to find every single case. Regular health checkups and screenings, along with a healthy lifestyle, are still important to keep your health on track.
Typically, you can expect to receive your results within 14 days. Our team will follow up with you to discuss the findings and next steps.
